Editor for this issue: Jody Huellmantel <jodylinguistlist.org>

We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

Seeking to purchase a new or used copy of Saul Levin's The
Indo-European and Semitic languages; an exploration of structural
similarities related to accent, chiefly in Greek, Sanskrit, and
Hebrew. Please reply if you have one for sale.
Thanks.

I am searching for sources (dictionaries, grammar reference manuals,
first language or second language articles) that list how word endings
in Spanish nouns have either a tendency towards the masculine or
feminine grammatical gender. Do you know of any reference that could
help me out?
Many thanks
